Apollo 11 documentary now available to stream on Netflix

Apollo 11, the 2019 documentary directed by Todd Douglas Miller, is now available to stream on Netflix in the U.S.

The film was assembled from previously unseen original film negatives and hundreds of hours of footage and audio that Miller and his editors restored and polished to contemporary standards. It plays without narration, talking heads, or recreations, relying solely on archival material to tell the story.

Apollo 11 functions as a historical time capsule, emphasizing the many departments and people behind the mission and showing aspects omitted from most contemporary reports. The documentary is often mentioned as a companion piece to Damien Chazelle’s First Man.

Release date: March 1, 2019. Runtime: 93 minutes. Director: Todd Douglas Miller. Cast: Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Walter Cronkite.
